== Meaning of the "Dwelling" ==
A dwelling (dirah) is a place where the one who dwells there reveals their inner essence and true self. Just as a person behaves more authentically in their own home than when outside, where they might wear various "masks," the concept of Hashem's dwelling means that He reveals His complete essence and being there, without any concealment.

Hashem desired that a dwelling be made for Him here in this physical world, which is spiritually the lowest realm, where His presence is not tangibly felt and where one might even think (Heaven forbid) that He doesn't exist. This is because the divine reality present in the world is hidden, making it appear as if the world runs independently without divine guidance. It is specifically here that Hashem's presence is revealed through human service.
